Insomnia

To be honest, I just don’t want to be a burden. 

I must be so annoying to be around 

and it’s getting harder to fake it and put on a happy face. 

I’m not even really sure what day it is anymore 

since I’ve been so tired lately. 

Sometimes I wake up, realize I’m still here, 

and then close my eyes and go back to sleep 

because that’s a few extra hours I don’t have to be me 

and it feels so nice. 

When I can’t sleep anymore, 

I like to just lay in bed and stare at the wall for a few hours while the negative thoughts creep up on me.
